Rittenhouse 1715, A Boutique Hotel is in the heart of Philadelphia, walking distance from Rittenhouse Square and Art Institute of Philadelphia. This 4-star hotel is close to Liberty Bell Center and Independence Hall.

Great hideaway in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Rittenhouse area.

The friendly & accommodating staff was by far the best part of this hotel. Everyone was very nice & attentive. Especially the front desk staff.

They spray a perfume or room scent in each room which can be over powering. They were able to air out my room, but I did have to sleep with all the windows open to the street below. The decor is a little dated but clean & presentable.

No parking on the street or valet, so you have to walk to a lot a few blocks away, which is annoying when you have luggage. There is an over-priced lot directly across the street, so that is not an option. I found there is very little 'easy' parking in Philadelphia so apparently this is not unusual.

Quiet and elegant. No hassles when you check in with 40 staff trying to help you with your money. My room was a nice accomodation with marble, seperate rooms, nice bed and pillows, and a lot of antiques or distrssed furniture.

It is on a quiet street with no hassles or traffic. First Class.

My credit card was charged the evening before my visit and they attempted to void the transaction without my knowledge. They were caught because when I arrived the card was charged again but the bank declined.....completely unacceptable.

A very quaint hotel on a quiet street just around the corner from numerous quality restaurants. Parking in lot across the street. We were upgraded to a suite which was very nice. Breakfast the next morning reminded us of our stays in Paris.

To be honest, I hestitate to write such a stellar review because I don't want this place to become too popular becuase the next time I am in Philly, I don't want this place to be fully booked!!!I am in love with place.

"Boutique sleep in a restored 1900s carriage house with period-inspired decor and a pied-à-terre vibe Georgian grandeur with all the modern comforts, 1715 Rittenhouse is housed in a 1900s carriage house on its namesake square. Designed by Walter Cope, best known for the Gothic edifices that grace U. Penn, Princeton and Bryn Mawr, the building — along with the houses flanking it, which have been incorporated into the hotel — remains delightfully original.
